(24,950 posts)he and his minions pretended that he never lied, never changed his mind (flip-flopped) and they also lied endlessly that Kerry was an unreliable flip-flopper who couldn't be trusted to protect the American people from terrorism and that they would hit us again the second he was inaugurated.
Politicians make lots of promises or say that they're going to do things their way when they are running but once elected are often confronted with circumstances that make following through on everything more difficult and sometimes doing things differently is part of what needs to happen. I don't believe that any politician is able to follow through on absolutely everything and in the same exact way as they say they will and may need to adjust but Bush was just a liar, particularly in the way that he constantly talked one way but acted completely different in the background.
